/create-app — From Description to Verified Application

Orientation

Use when: building a new app from scratch -- full scaffold, design system, and feature set from a single description. Don't use when: adding a feature to an existing app (use /marshal or /archon); generating a single component (use /scaffold).

Tier Detection

Use when the user wants to create an app, add a feature, or scaffold a project. Classify the input into one of five tiers:

Tier 1: Blank Project

• Trigger: "create a blank project", "new project", "scaffold"
• Action: Run /scaffold with stack detection. No PRD, no architecture.

Tier 2: Guided

• Trigger: "I want to build...", "help me create...", description with questions
• Action: /prd → user approves → /architect → user approves → /archon
• Human checkpoints: after PRD, after architecture, before each major phase.
